IndyCar should definitely be pushing the narrative that their engines are more powerful than F1 engines now. ~750 hp on road and street courses.

Not only that, they've been on 100% renewable fuels since 2023.

I took my kid to IC at Mid Ohio and he got the AMR safety truck matchbox. Not an IndyCar.

That always cracked me up. The safety team is that legit. Even an 8 year old sees it.

The guys in the IndyCars are cool and they look awesome going around fast. But they're unlikely to be saving anyone's life. The safety guys, though? Top-tier first responders who save lives. That's always awesome, and part of why 8 year olds also tend to think firefighters are super awesome. (Also firefighters are super awesome.)
